The way we see it, technology has suddenly got quite
a race on its hands.
Theres no other home computer in the world that's
so expandable or so updatable as the new Enterprise 64.
And if you're wondering quite how we've managed
that, kindly take a closer took at the outputs on our remark-
able new machine.
You'll notice that amongst all the usual sockets and
terminals, we've gone and incorporated a special 66-way
expansion port.
This will accept a whole range of new peripherals that
are in the pipeline. Including those that are a mere twinkle
in the eyes of our hardware designers.
We thought this expandability principle was such a
good idea, we applied it to the Enterprise's memory, too.
Even in its most basic 64K form, this puts more user
RAM at your disposal than almost any other competitor.
But plug in our special Rampacks to the baseunii, and
you can progressively increase that figure to a truly extra-
ordinary 3,900K.
ching up with technology,
atch up with a computer.
Not that that's the only challenge we present io today's
ambitious programmers.
With a screen resolution of up to 672 x 512 pixels,
256 colours and a high speed video processor, the Enterprise
will outgun all but the highest quality TV* monitors.
And the sophisticated sound chip generates no fewer
than 4 voices across 8 octaves in full stereo.
Combine the two and you can create effects that
leave today's games looking like pub video tennis of the
For anyone with literary aspirations, the Enterprise
comes complete with an integrated word processor.
Whilst the really serious user will be delighted to
discover analogue RGB andTVoutputs, as well as parallel,
RS423 serial and network ports.
Both Cobol and 'C will be available with CIVM run-
ning, and you can even use Lisp, Forth and Z80 assembly
language on cartridge without encroaching on user RAM.
The new Enterprise 64.
It hasn't just overtaken technology. It's left every
other home computer straggling in the distance.

^M^mmS^L MM- LAPUP'PITSTOP E
'PitstopE' is here.
And with it comes all the thrills, spills
an ner ve-jangling action of competitive motor racing.
But there's much more to 'PitstopE'
than just foot down, flat out and hope for the best
Because 'PitstopE' demands fast thinking
as well as fast driving.
You've got to watch your tyres; watch your fuel;
watch that car coming up behind.
You've got to decide whether you can afford to make a pit stop.
Or whether you can afford not to.
With 'PitstopE' you not only drive your race,
you plan it as well.
And the pressure's really on.
If you think you've got action games licked,
try a few laps with 'PitstopE'.
You may have to think again.

Free software worth over £100 is
the name of the game.
Along with your new CPC 464
(colour monitor or green screen
VDU) you'll receive a software
starter pack of 12 (yes, twelve)
cassettes absolutely free.
There's something for everyone.
From Roland-on-the-Ropes to Easi-
Amswnrd word processing.
Thaf s one good reason for making
Amstrad's CPC 464 your new home
computer.
Here are the others.
The CPC 464 comes complete with
its own colour monitor or green
screen VDU and built-in cassette
data recorder. (Optional disc drives
are now available with CP/M* and
DR. LOGO' supplied as standard.)
It has a typewriter-style keyboard
and numeric keypad. 64K of RAM,
32K of ROM and a very fast extended
BASIC with real time features.
And it costs a great deal less than
the price of a comparable system
The CPC 464 can handle the trick-
iest computer games (if you can),
revision for exams, cataloguing and
budgeting.
And it comes complete and ready-
to-go.
Artisoft A ton of software.
Yes. Now there are over 100 titles
from Amsoft and independent pub-
lishers. And the list is still growing.
Arcade games, educational pro-
grams and business applications -
they're all designed to make the
most of the CPC 464's impressive
graphics, stereo sound and process-
ing abilities.
And with Amstrad's speedloading
capability, even complex programs
can be loaded quickly. The optional
disc system will load a game in
around 6 seconds.
When you feel the need to upgrade
your Amstrad system
to disc drive, just send
your favourite Amsoft
cassettes to us and
we'll send you back
the same Am soft pro-
grams on Amsoft disc forjust£4.95
per cassette, the price of a blank disc.
Join in the fun.
Our CPC 464 User Club is
for all owners.
As a member, you'll be the first to
know about the additions to the
range. Hardware and software.
We'll provide you with your own
privilege card and send you free, a
year's subscription to the Amstrad
User magazine packed with pro-
grams, features and information.
You can enter competitions for
valuable prizes and keep up with all
the latest Amstrad developments.
And with the free software pack,
we think that's pretty good for
starters.

Welcome to the workshop! Hundreds of you
rushed to Richard Napier's aid after last
issue's Pyjamarama hints. Richard couldn't
work out the final stages of the game. But
now, with your help, he should be well on the
way to waking Wally up!
PYJAMARAMA
The Prof had to choose just one person from the
many Pyjamarama maniacs out there for the
ses of the workshop — and he is Rupert
of Lower Sunbury, Middlesex.
irt says that, in order to de-activate the
itic lock, you must first get the magnet
which can be found in the chest under the kitchen
table.
• Get the driving licence from the first room you
enter on level one. Then go out onto the roof via
the room with a pyramid of tea chests. Walk right
until you pick up the ignition key.
• Go to level four and slide down the bannisters
by grabbing a rope. This will exchange the key

With the crash helmet and the library book go

ross the table and pick up the scissors.
Go to level four and get the conveyor belt

Enter the room with the HELP button and turn
the HELP button ON.
• Now, as quickly as possible, take the lift from
level four to level three. Enter the room with the
plants and fall through the hole in the door.
• You should now be standing next to a balloon.
Walk towards it and you will be taken up a series
of ledges. Move along these until you can jump
onto a tea chest, which has been activated by the
HELP button. Jump from the chest and you wiU be
able to collect the chest key. Go to the kitchen on
level two and walk past the chest You should now
have the magnet.
• Take the magnet — with a full can of fuel, as
explained by Richard last issue — and go to the
moon on the rocket.
• When you arrive on the moon, walk to the door
on the far right. Enter and switch off the magnetic
lock by jumping towards the button. Now, with
the lock switched off, collect the clock key and

There are five types of deadly

BACKPACKER'S
GUIDE TO THE
UNIVERSE
Fantasy Software's very success-
ful trilogy of arcade Adventure
games is to be converted to run
on the Amstrad CPC 464 computer.
The Backpacker's Guide to the
Universe, a series of three Adventure
games featuring the character Ziggy
who starred in Fantasy's other game
The Pyramid, is loosely based on the
hugely successful book and TV series
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the
Galaxy.
The unique feature of the game is
that it contains an information
program at the end of the tape which
gives you hints and advice on how to
complete some of the puzzles in the
game, similar to the Encyclopaedia
Galactica in Hitch Hiker's.
The first program on the tape also
contains a mini version of the guide
but to access the whole of the second
program you have to stop playing
the game and load the second
program — making sure that you
don't have the chance to keep
referring back to it.
The first part of the trilogy,
entitled The Caverns of Exile, wilt be
available in the next few weeks and
should sell for around £7.00. •

smashing little game tor Atari Computers calk
which quickly became one of the most popular U. K. prograr
games for the Atari.
Then, as now, Atari Computers were amongst the most
advanced on the planet, but they were a TRIPLE expensive!
But we knew that prices would come down, and that more
people would soon appreciate the great range of
Atari software produced by ENGLISH SOFTWARE.
But Atari owners used to be a funny lot, being heard
"It can't be any cop, if It costs less than £30"
honestly, that's what they used to say I Anyway,
In the face of this rather strange attitude, "
aheadand committed theultlmatesin:
. ATARI5AMESAT £9.951
We expected some slight resistance to these
prices from Atari owners who only equated high
quality with high prices, but we were wrong:
Everybody thought the prices were great, and th
We even produced the fantastic ATARI CASSETTE
EMHAriCERat£?.95,asuperb utility program for
BASIC programmers.
5o now, for those of you who might have missed out on
all our excellent Atari titles, we are releasing something
very, very special:

Before you are put off buying a copy
of the game of the book of the TV
series by Douglas Adams, let me
correct one small point It does not
cost the £5. 780,000, 004. 95 (incl, pSp)
quoted, but a mere £34,50 (Atari
version). And it does have an
advantage over any other form of this
great work. You actually get to play
the part of the greatest hitch hiker of
all time - Arthur Dent.
If you think things are going to be
easy because you've read the book,
forget it! Douglas Adams, the mind
behind the original guide, has joined
forces with Infocom's Steve Meretzky,
the intellect behind Sorcerer and
PJaneifaJJ. to create a totally new game
scenario that will delight even the
most jaded adventurer. In fact, to be
successful in Hitch Hiker you must
forge! all thai has been written before
and approch this extraordinary
Adventure with a clear and unclut-

The game introduces new concepts
into Adventuring which 1 found to be
absorbing, pleasantly amusing and. in
